bit dad escape family good hopefully last normalcy provide week
I think it's important to play. No. 1, that's what my dad would want me to do, just like last week he would have wanted me to play. It would be good for my family to try to get back to some normalcy and hopefully provide a little bit of escape while the game's going on for all of them.

direction few figured fourth heard middle minutes pittsburgh quarter talking
No one was talking about it on the sidelines, you figured that was the direction it was going. About the middle of the fourth quarter I went up to someone on the sidelines, I heard Pittsburgh was up 14 with only a few minutes to go. I figured it was the way it was going to go.
passing pounding pressure start took
I think (Black and Bober) did well, ... But when you get that kind of lead, you want to start pounding the ball... . Most of our passing was play-action. That took a lot of pressure off those guys.
cost field goal missed sick
I'm sick to my stomach. No missed field goal cost us this game. We had many opportunities to win. That's the disappointing part.
everybody feels
I think everybody feels real comfortable with where we are.
ball behind biggest early effective fall five four heels last mix run running
Our biggest thing is we can't fall behind early like we did. We can't become predictable on offense. Where we have had effectiveness over the last four or five years is when we can mix up the run and the pass. When we are effective running the ball then we can get our play-action going. We can get our drop-back going. We keep defenses on their heels and keep them off-balance because they don't know where we're coming.
ball blowing difference field half harder kicked mud raining resting second though time torn wind
I think the first half was a lot more manageable, even though it was raining harder and the wind was blowing harder. But as the field was torn up, with the ball resting in the mud every time you could get the snap, there was pretty much mud kicked on the ball so it made a big difference in the second half.
good timing
I feel good with where the timing is.
brought career carry charge chose coach coming deal direction expected explained felt good great kansas louis memories number numerous occasions onto personal responsibility shared situation starting though three towards tried
From a personal standpoint, I've shared a number of great memories with (Vermeil). I've said this on numerous occasions: he's been in charge of three organizations as a professional coach in his career and on two of those occasions he chose me to be his starting quarterback. So, I feel a great deal towards him, a great deal of responsibility in St. Louis when I was brought into that situation and he told me what was needed. Even though I wasn't able to carry that over onto the field, I felt good about the direction going into that season. Coming here and having it explained what was expected of me and I tried to do all those things. That's what I told him when he got me to Kansas City.

He was asking questions of everybody to see what everybody thought, what everybody's attitude was, ... No matter how that play ended up, that's where you have to send a message on a football team and I think that was great on his part to have the confidence in us.

We took that approach against the Jets. They were a team that was a field goal away from going to the AFC championship game. We felt real good about ourselves that week.
